In this thesis, a base for the modeling and analysis of laser guided weapons is constituted. In particular, the effects of several control schemes on the performance of a generic laser guided weapon system are investigated. In this generic model, it is assumed that the velocity pursuit guidance is employed via a velocity aligning seeker as the sole sensor. The laser seeker is modeled experimentally, based on data obtained by conducting a series of tests. The laser reflection is also modeled. Aerodynamic coefficients of the generic geometry are generated by the software Missile Datcom. A nonlinear, six degree of freedom simulation is constructed incorporating 10 Hz laser sensing, velocity pursuit guidance, seeker model, and multiple control schemes. The effects of bang-bang, bang-trail-bang, multiposition and continuous control techniques on weapon performance are investigated for stationary and moving targets under ideal and noisy conditions. Flight characteristics like miss distance, range envelope, impact speed, and time of flight are monitored. Weapon̕s maneuverability is investigated and the effect of employing a theoretical down sensor on the performance is demonstrated. In the light of simulation results, comparisons between various schemes are carried out, improvements on them and their flight envelopes are emphasized. It is concluded that the multiposition scheme provides a significant performance increase in most delivery types and can be an alternative to the continuous scheme. It is shown that the continuous scheme can achieve longer ranges only if backed up by a down sensor.

Automatic target recognition in infrared imagery Bayık, Tuba Makbule; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) The task of automatically recognizing targets in IR imagery has a history of approximately 25 years of research and development. ATR is an application of pattern recognition and scene analysis in the field of defense industry and it is still one of the challenging problems. This thesis may be viewed as an exploratory study of ATR problem with encouraging recognition algorithms implemented in the area. The examined algorithms are among the solutions to the ATR problem, which are reported to have good perform...
Moving Object Detction in 2D and 3D Scenes Sırtkaya, Salim; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) This thesis describes the theoretical bases, development and testing of an integrated moving object detection framework in 2D and 3D scenes. The detection problem is analyzed in stationary and non-stationary camera sequences and different algorithms are developed for each case. Two methods are proposed in stationary camera sequences: background extraction followed by differencing and thresholding, and motion detection using optical flow field calculated by أKanade-Lucas Feature Trackerؤ. For non-stationary ...
Offshore oil slick detection with remote sensing techniques Akar, Sertaç; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Department of Geological Engineering (2007) The aim of this thesis is to develop a methodology for detection of naturally occurring offshore oil slicks originating from hydrocarbon seeps using satellite remote sensing techniques. In this scope, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery has been utilized. Case study area was Andrusov High in the Central Black Sea. Hydrocarbon seepage from tectonic or stratigraphic origin at the sea floor causes oily gas plumes to rise up to the sea surface. They form thin oil films on the sea surface called oil slicks. P...
Improving Oil-Rate Estimate in Capacitance/Resistance Modeling Using the Y-Function Method for Reservoirs Under Waterflood Temizel, Cenk; Artun, Emre; Yang, Zhengming (Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), 2019-08-01) Capacitance/resistance modeling (CRM) is an empirical waterflood modeling technique based on the signal correlations between injection rates and gross production rates. CRM can satisfactorily estimate the gross (liquid) production rate. The oil-production-rate forecast is based on fitting the empirical oil fractional-flow model, the Leverett (1941) oil fractional-flow model, or the Koval (1963) model to the historical production data. We observed that the oil-production-rate forecast in this approach is les...
Determination of three-phase relative permeabilty values by using an artificial neural network model Karaman, T; Demiral, BMR (Informa UK Limited, 2004-08-01) In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) tool, which uses the data obtained from a pore network (PN) model, was developed in order to obtain three-phase relative permeability values. During the development of this ANN tool, four different stages were implemented in which ANN structures were changed in order to find the best architecture that would predict the oil isoperms correctly. By using the data obtained from the PN model, training was implemented and the prediction power of that tool was test...
